The Mandamus Road Case.

Hon. William $. Barton, judge of the
Tenth circuit, was at the Henrico
county courthouse yesterday to try
what is known as the mandamus road
case, but owing to the indisposition OF
Commonwealth 's-Attorney Thomas the
case was adjourned over until to-day.
Judge Barton was requested by Judge
Wexford TO hear the case because the
latter felt some delicacy in sitting, be-
cause of the fact that Mr.. HUBBARD, OF
counsel for the petitioners, had some
wear or more ago taken action against
the Judge on account of the manner in
which some proceeding in Judge Well
ford's court had been managed.
Property-owners on Broad street pc
titioned the County Court for a writ OF
mandamus to compel the Board OF Su-
peryisors Of the county to put that
road in good condition. This Judge
Minor, after hearing the case, declined
to do, holding that it was matter en-
tirely with the board. From this ruling
counsel for the petitioners appealed to
the Circuit Court. Messrs. X. L.
Hubbard and Conway K. Sands repre-
sent the property-ownersan and Common
th's-Attorney Thomas the county.

THREE CATAMOUNrs.
How Former Gibptn Captured and
kisled One of Them.

A Lumberton penn. special says:
G. orge Gilpin, a farmer living near this
village, brought to Justice.of-the-Peacc
Green's Office yesterday three enormous
catamounts, on which he collected the
bounty of two dollars each. One OF
them was nearly five feet in length. and
the others were each four feet. Either
one of them could have carried on a
sheep with ease, and they had been
carrying off Gilpin's sheep for some
tim past. 1.-The biggest OF the three,
said Gilpin, 81 discovered, made his
home in cave in the mountain back OF
my farm, and on Saturday saw him go
out on foraging expedition. While he
was out slipped a strong steel trap IN
the cave, and during the day had 1t
demonstrated that il there is anything
quicker than lightning it is the paw OF
a catamount. The spring of my trap is
so sudden that whenthe pan is touched
the jaws will fly together in the tenth
part of second. 1t may be imagined
that anything that sets that trap Oft has
got to be tolerably lively if it gets out
before the jaws fasten on it. set the
trap in the cave, and on Sunday
crawled into the cave to seeif / had the
catamount Ihsd him. Atseeing that
he was only held by the tip of his toes
on one forefoot l made up my mind
that it wouldn't be very safe for
me to fool with him until got him
more secure. knew that the cat had
been so quick that after stepping on
the pan OF the trap he had almost sue
ceeded in drawing his foot out before
the jaws sprang to. A few minutes
later found ont that that wasn't much
more than snail's work compared with
what lie could do. / went home and
got another trap, took it to the cave,
set it, end pushed it in until it reached
the catamount, knowing that he would
give it dip with his paw, and expect
ing. of course, to have him foul at
the first trial. He struck the trap
with his free forepaw, hitting the pau
fair and square. The trap snapped
to like lightning, but it closed
on nothing. That amazing movement
on the part of the catamount staggered
ne. | could bardly believe my eyes.
But there could be no doubt about the
matter. 1 pulled the trap out, set it
again, and showed it in toward the an
NAL once more. He spotted the pan
again, and the trap closed on nothing
the same as it had before. Time after
time / tried to catch that catamounts
paw in the trap, but the cat was too
quick. At last, on the eighth attempt,
the animal having probably got tired
by that time, the jaws came together
and caught the leg. never heard such
wells as tho catamount gave on finding
himself caught They actually made
me turn cold. | pulled the furious
animal out of the cave by the chain on
the second trap, and handicapped as he
was by both traps, / had to fight him
over big stretch of ground for several
minutes before | got n death-blow in on
him. The two smaller catamounts l
caught in dead-fall trap not far from
the cave. There are two others IN that
vicinity, and family of six mere IN
another part of the same mountain. l
expect to have the whole eight before
the week is out"

REsoLUTION ADOPTED
STRANGE SUICIDE OF A Roy.
Re Kills Himself on the Grave OF n
FayOrite Dog.

A Philadelphia telegram says: {: The
guests of the Bryn Mawr Hotel, very
fashionable summer resort just outside
the city limits, in Montgomery county,
were horrified last night by the suicide
of Allan Harp, boy sixteen years old,
who shot himself through the head
over the grave of pet dog. a short
distance back of the hotel stands a
pretty frame cottage embowered in
trees and with grounds tastefully orna-
mented by flower beds. For fifteen years
this cottage has been occupied by John
Harp, the keeper of the grounds around
the Bryn Mawr Hotel. He had a faml-
ly, consisting of himself, wife, and four
children. Early yesterday favorite
collie, commonly known as q shepherd
dog, died. The dog was one of which
every body was very fond. He seemed
like one OF the family, and his especial
care was committed to Allan, six
teen-year.old boy, who raised him and
had romped and played with him for
the past fifteen months. The dogs
death caused much grief in the Harp
cottage. Allan tenderly buried the
body and placed a wooden slab at the
head of the grave, on which he wrote
in pencil the date of the birth and
death of his lost playmate.
The boy seemed much depressed, but
no particular attention was paid to him.
He stayed out in the grounds after dark
last evening, but nothing was thought
of this, as the evening was very hot.
The Harp family were sitting on the
porch listening to the music in the ho-
tel, where hop was in progress, when
they heartfa sharp report. Some one
asked what the noise was, and some
body else said it sounded like stone
thrown in the road; SO it was forgot
ten. Finally, one OF the family in
auired where Allan was, and relative
who came to sit on the porch awhile
remarked that she saw Allan lying
across the shepherd dogs grave as she
was coming to othe house. The continued
absence of the boy finally suggested to
some one to call him. No answer came.
and then younger sister went out to
the grave in the yard and found the
body of the boy on the grave dead.
The right hand clutched revolver,
which lay across the breast, and the
face, which was uptuned, was almost
hidden in blood. From q small hole
in the middle OF the forehead the blood
was still trickling, and the ground
around was saturated with it. The
family was horror-stricken. The father
rushed over to the hotel in quest Of q
doctor. At that baur, about 8 o'clock,
the hop was in I'LL progress and the
cool piazza was thronged with guests.
MIR. Harp dashed into the midst OF
them barely able to say what had hap
pened.
DR.. Thomas H. Andreas, DR.. Savery,
and tive or thee Of the guests fastened
with Mr.. Harp hack to his home. The
liftless body Of the boy WAS hastily ex-
smiaeds but : glance was only neees-

The Death OF Mrs. Wilson.


No event in society here for long
time has produced so profound sor-
row as the death of Mrs Littell Wilson
at the residence of her father, Mr..
Norton II. Savage, No. IA west Grace
street.
Strikingly beautiful in person, with
an attractive address, she was admired
and loved by very large circle OF
friends. BY her immediate family she
was weunigh idolized.
Four months ago, when she had just
ripened into womanhood, she was led
to the altar by Mr. Wilson, rising
young gentleman in the tobacco trade,
and to all appearances had every pro
mise of long and happy life. Alas !
how uncertain this world Two months
had not elapsed ere her health had fail
ed, and in short time her friends felt
the deepest anxiety as to the issue.
For few weeks past, however, she
had so much improved and SO bright a
promise of complete recovery was pre-
sented that arrangements were being
freely canvassed by the family as to
how she should divide her time among
the watering.places. Everything went
ON well till day before yesterday, when,
like SO many of our citizens, she was
almost suddenly prostrated by the in
tense heat then prevailisg. She grad
ually sank till 8 o'clock last night, when
she passed away.
Her funeral was attended by large
concourse of friends, who brought a
fitting profusion of flowers to mingle
with the tears SO freely shed on her
early grave.

ELBERoS, N. j., July 20, 1857.
Hon. William M Singcriy, Editor Of
the Record, Philadelphia:
Dear Sir,--ln reply 10 your courteous
inquiry as to the real status OF the ne
gotiations called by the press "the
baltimore and Ohio deal, Ibeg to say
that all such negotiations are termi-
mated. The syndicate which was to
acquire q large block Of the stock OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany in such way as was believed would
be beneficial to all the parties and
railroads concerned did not ut the
appointed time comply with their
engagements, and all arrangements
or negotiations with them are now ab-N
solutely at an end. / have not pur-
chased the stock of the Johns Hopkins
University, as stated in some OF tho
newspapers. / have an option on that
stock and alsoupon that OF several other
holders, but l have not exercised these
options, nor do / intend now to do so.
The statement in some Of the papers
that purchased large blocks Of Balti-
more and Ohio stock is mis-
take. AS i have stated / had
options, but circumstances rendered
it unnecessary to close them. The
baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
its properties, including its large tele-
graph system, and the ownership OF its
stock remain now as they were at the
opening Of negotiations. The wide
spread public interest which these me-
gotiations have excited and the many
false and foolish rumors to which they
have given rise justify me in departing
from my usual course and making this
formal statement Of their final termina-
ton.
Thanking you for the kindly terms
in which you have been pleased to re-
fer to the Baltimore and Ohio Company
and its future, and acknowledging tho
correctness Of your judgment and that
of many other friends as to the proprie-
ty of making public this letter. am as
ever, yours very truly,

A Zanzibar telegram says: The latest
reports brought from the interior by
traders show that Emin Bey was in
good health in March, and was pro-
jecting an expedition to explore further
the Kakibbi river, an immense stream
which he discovered in September,
rising in the Usongora mountains and
flowing into the southern part OF Lake
Victoria Nyanza. He proposed that
this, his third expedition, should oc-
cupy three months. 1t is thought that
he may meet the Stanley expedition in
Csongora.
Mwanga still refused to grant Emin
permission to leave the country. but he
permitted messengers to obtain supplies
for the expedition.
Emin had not heard Of Stanley's
mission. The British and Italian mes
sengers who were sent to inform him
of the expedition were met in May at
a point northwest Of the Victoria
Nyanza by some of the traders who
have just arrived here. The messen-
gers had just been released by King
Kassikki.

Nanntc lIubbard,s Case.

The case of Mamie Hubbard, charged
with keeping disreputable house, was

cipal witnesses for the Commonwealth.
This house is opposite the ladies'
entrance of one Of the principal hotels
of the city. and is next door to large
manufacturing establishment which
gives employment TO large number of
worthy young ladies.

ssry to show that he was beyond any
human aid. The bullet was OF 3S-caii-
bre and it passed through the brain
almost, coming through the back OF the
skull. One OF the physicians in making
the examination inserted the full length
of his finger into the wound. The
weapon with which tho boy killed him
self was an old one that had been in
the house for years. Mr.. Harp had
forgotten that such weapon was in
existence.
The tragedy created sensation in
the vicinity. Near the grave shovel
was found, and the earth which had
been thrown in on top Of the dead coll
lie was partially dug up. From this
the impression was formed that the
boy, in his strange act, contemplated
either trying to place his body in the
dogs grave or else digging mp the dog
and dying alongside Of it. No one
ever suspected that the boy was medi-
tating suicide, as he must have been
during the day. All the surrounding
indications point to case OF attach
ment and bereavement for dumb
beast probably without parallel.

A Grand Army Journal Calls "a
Halt.

The Grand army Journal, pub
lished in Boston, in its last issue says ::
"Many comrades are asking whether
the crusade now going on against the
President is really on account of his
veto of the dependent pension bill or
is preconcerted political movement in
opposition to Democratic Administra-
ton. Comrndes, politics is danger
ous rock, which will surely wreck our
organization if We fail to give it a wide
be1h. 'An hands about ship! The
Grand Army should cease fooling
around the ragged edge OF politics.
Either east out entirely the political
devil that has already shown its bias
phemous presence or else sail in and
show our hand in asquare man-fashion:
II is evident that there is political
motive in the attack upon the President
under the guise of the Grand Army
opposition. Notwithstanding the fact
that it has been admitted that the
President had nothing 10 do with origi-
mating the order for the return OF the
rebel flags, the warfare against him has
been kept up with such venom that it
has disgusted all fair-minded people.

Resolved to Bic Together.


Two ladies, aged respectively sixty
two and fifty.two, committed suicide on
Saturday under the most tragical cir
cumstsnces. The younger Of the two
was married and lost her husband some
years ago. She then begged her elder
unmarried sister to live with her. In
the course of time the grief OF the
widow turned her head, and she be-
came mad and was placed in an asylum.
Last Christmas she was released as per-
fectly cured. On Saturday morning
the two sisters took a cab and
drove to the foot of the Kahlenberg,
where it rises abruptly out of the
Danube. Having dismissed the cab,
they were seen sauntering along the
bank. Shortly after a railway guard
saw a female figure floating on the
water. He took a boat and succeeded
in getting it out. He then discovered
that second woman was fastened with
cords to the back OF the first. The
woman on the top was only uncon-
scious, and soon recovered, but the
other was dead. While this was being
ascertained the woman who had been
saved ran to the river and threw herself
in again, but was again rescued. The
woman saved was the mad sister. The
shock has again affected her brain, and
she has been sent back to the asylum.
